A Comparison on the fatty acid composition of 7 species of Korean edible mushroom(Agaricus bisporus, Tricholoma matsutake, Lentinus edodes, Pleurotus ostreatus, Ramaria botrytis, Sarcodon asparatus, Calocybe gambosa) were investigated by gasliquid Chromatography. The results were obtained as follows: 1) The major fatty acid in all samples were linoleic $(77.33-35.53\%)$, oleic $(39.69-1.58\%)$ and palmitic$(22.51-7.31\%)$ acid, 31 2) The content of linoleic acid was the highest in Agaricus Bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus edodes meanwhile, the content of oleic acid of these mushrooms was significantly low compared with others. 3) Quantity of myristic acid was higher in comparison with fatty acid composition from common lipid source.
